Frequently asked questions

How do I turn on the shader after installing it?
Open your Options menu, go to Video Settings, then select Shaders. Find BVS Best Vanilla Shaders in the list and click it to activate. You'll see the effects apply immediately to your world.
My game is running slowly with this shader. What should I do?
Open the shader settings (usually by clicking the Settings button in the Shaders menu) and switch to a lower performance profile like Medium or Potato mode. These profiles reduce shadow quality and lighting complexity while keeping the vanilla look.
Why don't my colored lights from light sources show up?
Make sure Colored Lighting is enabled in the shader settings—it's sometimes off by default. Also check that you're not using a very low performance profile, as some profiles disable this feature to save performance.
Do I need special texture packs for this shader to work?
No, the shader works with vanilla textures out of the box. However, if you use a texture pack that includes PBR materials (special texture files for reflections and bumps), you can enable PBR support in the settings to see those effects.
